Abstract

Arthrocenteses and intra-articular as well as intra-bursal injection were investigated and experienced in both the thoracic and pelvic limbs of the donkey. The anatomical studies per formed for determination of the best qpproaches for injection into various joints and bursae seemed to be extremely essential prior to their practical exploration in the living subjects. The sites adopted for injecting the joints and bursae were determined according to palpable external landmarks on the animal. Complete description of the techniques adopted was presented. Certain additional details and newer developments than those reported on the horse were described.
